Jessica -- "I Wish I Was in Love"

Jessica Simpson: Click to watchJessica just wants to be loved. In an interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Nick Lachey's ex confesses she's ready for a serious relationship, telling the talk show host, "I wish I was in love, I need to be in love."

Though many men may feel inclined to disagree, Simpson admits she's not exactly ideal girlfriend material. "I think I'm too hard to be in love with, it ends up on the cover of every magazine. I scare people away."

Just last week Jessica made the cover of PEOPLE for her alleged romance with singer John Mayer -- something the she emphatically denied on "The View."

For a good laugh, also check out Simpson doing a dramatic reading of her new single, "A Public Affair," while Ellen does an interpretive dance.

The full interview airs on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Monday.

62. It amazes me how many people do not like her very much anymore. Why do we not like a girl , because she got divorced? The sad thing is, most of us can not stand her without Nick. Nick was the ying to her yang, he made her seem so much better then she is. Sometimes, a partner can bring out the best in you.

I really think jessica needs to get rid of her ENTIRE team. Her dad, her hairstylist, just start fresh. I think getting back with Nick will not happen, but iof this girl gets any lower on people's list, she may as well move back to Texas and go to college.

64. lay off Jess! She's having a tough time getting thru a divorce and you guys probably have no idea what it's like for her. Having people watch and criticize your every move. Everyone wants to be loved...but nobody really goes on Ellen DeGeneres and announces it to the world. But that's how you are when you're a celebrity. You get answers forced out of you and negative comments shoved in your direction! So don't think for one second that Jessica is some washed up old hag type because she's NOT! And although I'm not the biggest fan of hers I do recognize when people are going through a tough time and I have the decency not to hurt them.

Get a clue y'all

65. Mimi-- People don't like Jessica anymore because she is STUPID! It has nothing to do with her getting divorced necessarily. She gave up a good man and is now crying how she needs and want to be in love. HUH? She had that and she threw it away! People don't want to hear that sh*t esp when it's so hard to find!! I'm happy she divorced Nick becaus he truly deserves better. He loved her for whatever reason but he can do soo much better. I'm glad he got out before children were involved and I hope he'll find happiness with a real woman who can appreciate the great man that he is.

Nina--I do think that Nick brought some of this on himself because Jess was so young. He was 25 or 26 and she was like 19. He should have known that this might happen. Hell, it happened with his own parents! His mom was like 6 years younger than his dad and she left his dad. (read the Rolling Stone article that came out in May) But he was in love and it was like nothing he had ever felt before. He couldn't let it go. You can't completely blame him for that. Hindsight is 20/20 and if he had to do it all over again I'm positive he'd do it differently. And I don't know where you get your info but Nick DIDN'T cheat! Anyone who saw them in the public eye or knew anything about their relationship knew that man LOVED her more than life. No man waits 4 years to have sex with you if he doesn't truly love you more than life. And don't fault him for moving on. . . Jessica wasted 7 years of his life. Why waste even more time? He met someone nice and he took the opportunity presented to him.

68. Jessica and John Mayer really don't seem to fit one another anyway. I think I would be really shocked if they were to start dating....he seems so down to earth and laid back...out of the spot light, and she's wants a front row seat to it.

70. Hey Jessica dump your pimp Daddy Joe

71. I just dont understand why the hell do these celebrities always deny who they are with what is wrong with talking about your relationship. Vince and Jennifer aniston also deny they are together. I just dont get that. now this dumb bitch refuses to say if she is with John Mayer the whole thing just sounds plain retarded. People can actually just look at a couple and tell so it isn't even a personal thing.

72. Maybe she can find love if she gets a better tan because she looks very scary right now!!!!!!!!

74. I completely agree Shelley, she is so pathetic. I wish Nick all the best. Jessica is a has been with no class....

Joseph, what do you mean about the mom duming Joe, are they not still together ?

75. i agree that she seems out of it and looks horrible. then again i have always thought she looked horrible. but i think its interesting that people are making fun of her for saying that if she WAS in love it would be on the cover of every magazine and that this fact is intimidating to some people. no matter if she got a terrible haircut, no matter if her new album is the worst piece of crap ever created there WILL still be articles printed about her and her face will still be on the cover of magazines. she's made a few in past weeks so i don't understand why people are acting like "oh jessica, you poor confused little thing. you're not even on magazine covers anymore. you never were."
